It was important to keep the spirits high for the Anzacs. Here are a few beauts to keep them laughing between games of two-up.
A general and a captain walking down the street passed a number of soldiers, and each time one of them saluted the officers, the captain saluted back and said, “The same to you.”
“Why do you always say that?” the general asked the captain.
“I used to be a private, too,” said the captain, “and I know just what they are thinking.”
Another fine yarn.
A sergeant-major and two privates are walking through a city park and they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a genie comes out in a puff of smoke.
The genie says, “I usually only grant three wishes, so I’ll give each of you just one.”
“Me first! Me first!” says one of the privates. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat with a gorgeous woman who sunbathes topless.”
Poof! He’s gone.
“Me next! Me next!” says the second private. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side and a mai tai on the other.”
Poof! He’s gone.
“You’re next,” the Genie says to the sergeant-major, “You can have anything you want.”
The sergeant says, “I want those guys back in the motorpool after lunch.”
